Valor Under Fire

Me and my brother's official entries for the 1st Annual Toy Clicks Toy Photography Contest at the 6th Philippine Toy Convention 2007. Even though we didn't win, we still had fun and are proud of what we accomplished because we never thought it would end up looking like this when we first conceptualized it. Cheers bro!

We decided to work on capturing a realistic take on two of the most famous robots in the Philippines namely Voltes V and Optimus Prime. We chose these two robot characters primarily for the appeal they have to many local fans whose age segment spans across both our generations. Born in a CGI-less time, our childhood years were spent dreaming of seeing these two robots in a live-action setting. Despite the upcoming Transformers movie (which has very cool CGI robots), we opted to make our childhood dreams into reality by joining this contest.

Credit is due to Jervy Santiago for helping us photograph some of the subject references, Jose Lieban for the city background and ILM for the missiles, grime and metal texture effects we used.
